Abstract

The results of the experimental study of nonlinear-optical effects in photonic crystals, i.e., synthetic opal matrices and nanocomposites (matrices with voids filled with different nonlinear liquids) are presented. The following nonlinear-optical effects were observed under experimental conditions: the photonic flame effect (PFE), stimulated globular scattering (SGS), and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). The dependence of these effects on the excitation conditions, nanocomposite refractive index contrast, and sample temperature was studied. PFE lines were detected in the Stokes spectral region. SGS spectra at the temperature of liquid nitrogen were studied.
